“Nancy Pelosi showing premium ice cream bad? John Cornyn showing premium beef tenderloin okay? I’m confused.”

Yup. I think the article “Psychopathy and the Origin of Totalitarianism” brainsplains it pretty well.

“i didn’t know tenderloin was that expensive”

Expensive enough that lots of people can’t afford it. Compare $4 per pound for ground chuck with $17 for mediocre tenderloin.

What are you babbling about?
Read the rest of the thread.
I don’t care what Cornyn did.
My point was that the person I was replying to does understand the point they were trying to make.
Not that I agree with their point, just I comprehend their point.

Apparently Perini Ranch Tenderloin is a Texas thang. I don’t begrudge the guy a nice holiday meal. https://www.periniranch.com/tenderloin/

“You’ll be hard pressed for two people to get out of Wendell’s for less that 250 for that meal.”

Went to Elway’s at the Ritz Carlton in Denver. (My daughter insisted.) On the way out, the mgr asked how everything was. I didn’t deliberately set out to be a wise guy, but the only thing I could force out was “Ordinary. Very, very ordinary.”

If for some reason I decided to host a dinner party, and I served my guests what Elway’s served me, I would consider the party a failure.

Now, the stuffed lobster I had at the Sheraton Goat Island back in 1981 I could praise for hours.

*** I read somewhere else that it was a gift. ***

Yes, after the initial reaction to Mr Tone Deaf's tweet, he reposted it with the caption, "Best Christmas Present Ever". What a moron.

All hat and no cattle common sense.

You don’t begrudge him because he’s a Republican.

The GOP establishment loves their sheeple. That’s why Cornyn and McConnell have no fear of knifing Trumpnin the back. They know that Republican sheeple will still support them as soon as Newsweek or some Democrat criticizes them for something, even if the criticism is valid - like showing off a steal dinner after they’ve noted down the stimulus checks that Trump asked for.

If you are going to post on social media as a high level elected official, there is a tactical nature to it. The optics are bad talking about food when many people are suffering thanks to lockdowns.

I made a simple point, you won’t find Cornyn criticizing Biden in the way he did President Donald Trump.

Sasse, Cornyn, Murkowski, Tillis, Graham, ....

That is one hell of an article, thanks. Unfortunately, I cannot read it all tonight. I look forward to working through it as well as the comments.

re: Stop with the envy

That’s a $125 steak, and since I just found out that my employer may be going out of business soon due to the lockdown, I won’t be buying any, thank you.

I’ve never asked for a government handout in my life, but I couldn’t afford to send back the $1200 stimulus check back to the treasury. My own business was wiped out early last year due to gov’t mandates.

No respect at all for this Cornyn bass-turd. Oh. . . . and you’re full of it :)
